Huey Hall saw a goose. Betty Barton skipped class. A certain group in Mr. Brazzell’s study hall would be quiet. Viva Monk dyed her hair purple. Donald Albritton hadn’t rather be President than King. Linda Hagan wasn’t always getting out of class to work on the annual. Dining Hall ran out of beans. Mr. Davis got MARRIED. Carolyn Hughes didn’t get candy everyday in study hall. Wayne Woodham didn't think teachers and classrooms were the only objectives to an education. Helen Asbury didn't think love was the greatest of all educators and think that she was well educated. Donald Brown got a G. I. haircut. Barbara Welch forgot her gum at home one day. Wayne Hall didn’t speak during English class. Gaytha Wills came to school on Monday. Nolton Causey wasn't always flirting with the girls. Marilyn Monroe came to HICKS. James Hagan wasn’t always sitting and thinking____but mostly sitting. Miss Little let a week pass without putting someone in Siberia. Adrian Wilson didn't think a little learning was a dangerous thing. Jeanne LeBleu didn't play the piano during study hall. Ronnie Hall's teachers didn’t think he was so sweet they always placed him on the front seat. Pat Busby wasn't always eating pecans in American History. Dale Smith sang a solo at the Literary Rally. Jane Spurgeon made 75 points in one ballgame. Larry Goleman let work detain him from his pleasures. Shirlean Aldy got mad at a teacher. Norman Spurgeon wasn't always shooting spit balls in General Business. Sharon Monk hadn’t rather make History than study it. Emery Hughes couldn't find an opportunity for mischief 100 times a day. Work didn't fascinate Joe Harville so much he could sit and watch it for hours. Jimmie Copeland didn't believe in taking life easy. Everyone at Hicks High wasn't always calling Gearld Welch Big Bad John. Merlin Parks wasn't always saying Smile if you love me to the girls.
